On July 31st, 2010 I purchased a 2008 Dodge Avenger. Shortly after the purchase, when adjusting the seat the driver side airbag light would come on and ding. I have contacted daimler Chrysler and drivetime (car dealer) for assistance in resolving this issue but because my VIN number is not included in the recall, basically have been told there is nothing that can be done. I am referring to recall 07V240000. The description fits my vehicle to a perfect match. Depending on how and where the seat is positioned determines if the light is on or off. No one can tell me if the air bag will fail if involved in an accident or not. So, how do I get this addressed and covered in the recall? I can be reached by calling [xxx] or my husband cell [xxx]. he is fully aware of the situation. I am a nurse and unable to take calls at work.

An end over end roll of 5 to 8 rolls where the air bags did not deploy. This happened in a 2008 Dodge Avenger, which has an air bag recall but I was told mine was not on the recall list. It is pretty evident that there was a defective problem somewhere that kept the bags from deploying. I am concerned how many other Avengers should have been on that recall and why mine was not or why the bags did not deploy properly.

My son bought a new Dodge Avenger 2008 back in March. He was in a wreck on Sunday Dec 14th. He was exiting the turnpike (road had started to ice over) and he slid into the car in front of him. He hit the car in front of him. Estimated speed at time of impact was about 50 mph. His air bags did not deploy. The car dealer told him that it would only deploy if he hit the car right on the center front.
